Placer County and Truckee are working to secure funding to build two sections of the Resort Triangle Trail Network. This would connect North Lake Tahoe and Truckee. 

Truckee and Placer County are jointly submitting a funding application to the California Federal Lands Access Program for money to build the two multiple-use, paved trail segments. Now about halfway completed, the system will eventually be a continuous 62-miles of trails running from Truckee to Northstar, then to Kings Beach. From there the trail will continue to Tahoe City before returning to Truckee along the Highway 89 corridor.

The proposed trail segments meet federal funding requirements by enhancing public access to federal lands and providing an economic driver for the region.

Placer County’s trail segment will be the continuation of Truckee’s Legacy Trail from the county line west to the intersection of West River Street and Highway 89. This section of trail will include a bridge to cross the Truckee River and possibly a trailhead parking area at the intersection. The Truckee portion will run from the county line east to Brockway Road near the intersection with Palisades Drive.

The estimated cost for both trail sections is $4.75 million. The county and the town would each need to provide an 11.5 percent match to the federal funding for their respective trail sections.
